![]() OK.here's the plan.. Get 2 sets of cases,and weld them together after machining the front and rear off each respective set. Front 2 and rear 2.Makes a long case to carry 8 cylinders. Look,if the guy in Aus can weld magnesium cases,it would have to be easier to do the same to 356 T6 alloy cases. Marginally easier admittedly,but possible to achieve the exalted F-8. Fun with TIG,in an oven,inert gas flushed... / (edit:08/08/16): ![]() Samba-2-4-6-8 http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=399470 ![]() Well,the fellow in Australia has the right idea,wire edm cutting the cases to key each other together. Still,tubular shafts,ground to the mains and cam dia +0.0004"/-0 for alignment is essential. Otherwise,a near hopeless adventure,preparation of the weld groove is critical,minimum weld added. Tough job,all around.For sure a worthy aspiration,wanting -8,pushrod even.More cylinders,more better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ![]() Even these cases could be sixed,356-6.Custom crossflow center head too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) ![]() A VW Boxer Six,a neato version of the Corvair engine. Clearly,a welded crank.Note the main journal's discoloration and heat affected zone. The -8 crank is done in a similar way,two -4 cranks welded together,90* apart. http://carocha.forumeiros.com/t477-transfo...com-8-cilindros ![]() Mounted Mid in a 914,this is the right side of the engine,pretty nice looking. I want to build a few,and I know,some of you want one too. ![]() Some real expertise demonstrated here,kudos.Note the cam nose profiles,long duration,mushroom lifters,a revver.
